VIDEO: Speed bump in Dubai sends Gallardo airborne
Posted Feb 20th 2006 1:00PM by John Neff
Filed under: Sports/GTs

This video is the exact reason why we restrict the Weblogs, Inc.-issued company Lamborghini Gallardo to track use only.

The government of Dubai installed a rather large speed bump on a street that locals had developed a habit of travelling on at very high speeds. Only one minor problem, the government didn't tell anyone it had installed the speed bump. Without a sign of warning vehicles hit the mound and leave terra firma, only to land in a shower of sparks as their suspensions bottom out. The final car in this video, a Lamborghini Gallardo, nearly flips tail over nose when it hits the speed bump, which, again, is why we only drive ours on the track

OMG, that was hillarious! Man, that Gallardo was hauling ass. Amazing how he kept going after nearly flipping.

Default God designed the Gallardo

Prove Positive of how badass the Gallardo is- May the man, or men who designed it... (back in 1998 was it?) live rich, happy lives.
